Description

Yoshiâs Oakland began life in 1973 as a small, 25-seat sushi restaurant in North Berkeley. Success led to a move to Oakland, where the decision to introduce live jazz music to the venue soon saw the reputation of Yoshiâs Oakland soar. The final move happened in 1997 when the Port of Oakland invited Yoshiâs Oakland to set up shop in Jack London Square in the hope that the presence of such an internationally renowned venue would trigger a new lease of life in the area.

Any of the hassle associated with relocating was soon forgotten, as the new and improved Yoshiâs Oakland soon launched as a 330-seat jazz club / sushi restaurant boasting the finest in state-of-the-art sound technology.

Ten years on, the venue is going from strength to strength. The Yoshiâs schedule is a colorful array of the worldâs finest musicians from a diverse range of genres; everything from jazz and blues, to soul and afro-cuban. This, when paired with the best in contemporary Japanese cuisine clearly continues to be a recipe for success for Yoshiâs Oakland.
